Huron’s bicentennial all – school reunion a success

The Bicentennial All-School Reunion, sponsored by the Huron Alumni Association and held on Saturday evening, September 26, concluded Homecoming Week at Huron High School and also this summer’s community Bicentennial Celebration. An entire year of festivities may have left the community worn out but certainly much more appreciative of its cherished heritage. The reunion evening began with the traditional cocktail hour at 5 PM. Squeals of delight were heard as several 1944 Jubilarians who had not seen one another in over fifty years were reunited by their daughters also in attendance. Guests were greeted by the sight of a beautifully decorated hall at Mesenburg’s Plaza Place, with school colors abounding in the

Ralph Pisano says “Scuzza me, when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie back in old Napoli, that’s amore!” choice of dinner napkins and the matching red tin foil wrapping the mum centerpieces. Kudos to the Barnes Nursery for their loan of the potted chrysanthemums in a wide variety of fall colors and also the assorted miniature gourds heaped on each table. Programs featuring photos of Huron’s favorite past school houses graced each place setting as well. Tables with memorabilia from Huron’s fabled past were strewn about the hall for attendees to visit once again and spark floods of reveries of Huron past. Everyone felt a tad younger that evening. The music may just have contributed to the festive mood, for the person chosen to provide the entertainment was none other than Artie Rodriguez, a well known dick jockey in the area. His selection of classic tunes from the forties on up created just the sort of enchanting background for those assembled. And most

reported how pleasant it was to converse with a neighbor without having to holler oneself hoarse. Introductory speeches were delivered by Sharon Barnes, representing the Bicentennial Committee, and by Patrick “Sticks” Gioffre, welcoming all on behalf of the Alumni Association. Bill Enderle delivered an especially thankful blessing over the repast, and then the

This was no glorified ham sandwich affair but a spread of tarragon chicken breasts, shreaded pork swimming in succulent juices, and all the trimmings. For dessert, the baked goodies were supplemented with sundaes and toppings provided by the Wechter family and Tony Franks III, all served through the window of a scale model of the Pied Piper. Anyone who left hungry was either bulimic or anorexic – or both! After the delicious meal was served, a short program followed. John Caporini from the class of ’68 represented the Board of Education and warmed the memories of all by reviewing exactly what it was that made Huron so great over the generations. Special groups of guests were next introduced. Travelers from the coasts – Massachusetts, California, and Texas, as well as Arizona – all were introduced. Most of the Doyle kids were home, and many of the golden jubliarians who had partied for four days just a couple weeks earlier also turned out. Then some very special folks toasted members of their classes – representatives of most of the five-year anniversary classes. Leota Farschman Gilbert began by touting the class of 1944 – three of whom were in attendance. A stream of speakers then took to the microphone, all emphasizing the same message – how wonderful it was to have grown up in Huron, experiencing her small town values, her first class schools, her family atmosphere, and expressing their joy that for the most part those traditions still carry on – despite all the technologies. Constantly emphasized was the idea of Huron as family and how families looked out for one another, celebrated together, and pulled together. Maybe that’s why Huron’ school system this year was ranked “Excellent with Distinction,”

Free child identification program The Huron Police Department and Huron Rotary Club have partnered up to provide a free child identification program for Huron children. The program will be held at the Fall Pumpkin Festival at the Huron Boat Basin on Saturday, October 10 from Noon until 6:00 p.m. Members of the Huron Police Department will be providing the kits purchased by the Huron Rotary Club that will allow a child’s fingerprints and a DNA sample to be taken. Once the kits are prepared they will be given to parents to take home and put

in a safe place. The kits have no expiration date and will provide a great benefit authorities should it ever be needed. Nationwide over 800,000 children go missing every year – one every 40 seconds. The joint effort between the Huron Police Department and the Huron Rotary Club is a proactive means to help reunite a missing child with his/ her family. Huron residents are encouraged to bring children of all ages to participate. The kits are free and it takes only a few minutes to complete.

one of only sixteen such districts in the state. When the speakers had finished, the music began in earnest and couples took to the dance floor. Artie’s offerings sounded almost as if a juke box had broken open and spilled out an earful of 50’s and 60’s sounds. Twosomes slowly shuffled about, immersed knee deep in the classical haze of Blue Velvet, or lost somewhere up there On Blueberry Hill, far away from Heartbreak Hotel for a while, and wondering Why Do Fools Fall in Love. The more spry hopped about to Pretty Woman or Walk on By, and by hopping we mean you could have slid a dollar bill under their feet. The evening ended not without a featured live performance from the most senior member of the crowd, none other than the crooner himself, Ralph Pisano, joined later by

Patrick “Sticks” Gioffre sings “his way” to an appreciative crowd as the curtain came to an end. his nephew, Sticks Gioffre. After slip-sliding around half the evening with “Hap’s Haarem,” Ralph showed all that age is really nothing but a number, and that nothing else counts but love with his rendition of That’s Amore. To close out the evening, Sticks choked up those remaining in the crowd by belting out old Blue Eyes’ I Did It My Way. And happy to report, this time no one dropped his partner all night long while doing a dip or two. Ten o’clock had arrived much too early, most agreed, though some were already abed. Everyone did do it ‘the Huron way’ that evening. In three more years all will have a chance to repeat, the first time in Huron’s third century. See you all there!

FROM THE BENCH

Witnesses By Judge Bill Steuk, Huron Municipal Court A witness is someone who is called upon to testify in a legal case under oath. Witnesses are usually called upon to testify about what they know about facts in a case. Some witnesses may have specific expertise on matters they are testifying about. These witnesses are called “expert witnesses.” Sometimes witnesses will testify in court and sometimes they testify in pretrial discovery procedures; for example, a deposition. A witness may voluntarily provide testimony or sometimes may be required to provide testimony by way of a subpoena. A subpoena is a writ issued by a court that commands the presence of a witness to testify. The penalty for failure to appear and testify as directed in a subpoena can be punishable by a fine, or imprisonment or both. The Latin term subpoena translates as “under punishment.” It is considered a civic duty for those who have knowledge regarding a case to give testimony when it is needed. The main purpose of a trial or hearing is to learn the truth. Both sides in a case must have a chance to question witnesses. This is done through what is known as “direct examination” and “cross-examination.” The lawyer who calls a witness to testify will ask questions to bring out facts (direct examination). Then, the opposing lawyer will be allowed to ask questions about that testimony (crossexamination). The questions of both lawyers serve the purpose of revealing the truth as perceived by the witness being questioned. Articles appearing in this column are intended to provide broad, general information about the law. Before applying this information to a specific legal problem, readers are urged to seek advice from an attorney.

Last chance to see the Bicentennial Float The Huron Bicentennial Celebration beginning on our official birthday, February 11, 2009 and extending throughout the summer, has included events such as the ARTirondack Chair project, the Birthday Bash and community photo at the Boat Basin, Beard Contest, the presentation of Our Town by the Huron Playhouse, Garden Tour, Huron Then and Now Photo Contest, Oral History Project, the Great 200 Race and Scavenger Hunt, and the presentation of the Urban Renewal Documentary. The exciting appearance of the “Bicentennial Float” in the Huron Riverfest Parade certainly made an impact, and brought home the many reasons to celebrate the City of Huron. Huron residents, Dick and Evie Durkin wanted to construct a float in honor of Huron’s 200th birthday. Dick, a seasoned float designer and builder, came up with the concept of building a replica of an ore boat representing Huron’s connection with the “Lake, Land, River and Life” over the last two centuries. The six-month project began with the purchase of a school bus, dismantling it and then recycling every possible piece, right down to the nuts and bolts, for use in constructing the float. Many dedicated, hard-working friends and neighbors spent hours helping the Durkins perfect the “boat float” down to the last minute detail. Dick and Evie appreciate all of the generous help from the residents Drs. Jones and Peyton-Cook and businesses in the comare on the medical staff of munity, who provided both Firelands Regional Medical manpower and necessary Center and are part of the supplies. The Bicentennial multi-specialty practice of Committee appreciates the North Coast Professional many hours they spent drivCompany (NCPC). Drs.

ing it to local parades, touching up the paint, and cleverly decorating it with Berlin Heights “baskets”, Milan “melons” and the Vermilion “woolly bear”, as Huron was represented in many towns throughout the summer. People have had the opportunity to view the float closeup as it was displayed on several occasions this summer all around Huron. One can still catch a glimpse of it in the parking lot of Mesenbergs Banquet Hall, but it will not be there long. It will find a storage space, awaiting its final appearance as part of the Bicentennial Display during the Annual Festival of Lights over the Christmas Holiday. After the superstructure is removed, the plan is to sell the float. Evie and Dick hope you all enjoyed seeing it, and that it will be part of your memories of the 2009 Huron Bicentennial Celebration.

Fall reminders for your garden!

Mary Strayer, Master Gardener Don’t forget, it’s almost time to remove Cannas, Dahlias, and other tender bulbs before any hard freeze. Store them in a dry location with above-freezing temperatures for the winter. Clear a storage spot in the garage or basement where the temperatures hover around 45-60 degrees F from December into spring. Have peat moss and pots or a sturdy box ready to keep these bulbs after you’ve shaken off as much soil as possible. As your last perennials and annuals loose their vigor, replace them with wavy, colorful ornamental grasses, hardy mums, kale, pansies, and Johnny Jump-ups. You can enjoy their color now, and some will return in the spring. Many perennials are on sale at greenhouses and garden centers now, and it’s really ok to plant until the ground begins to freeze. To give you an example, Kingwood Gardens in Mansfield has their plant sale going on in September, and I purchased 2 “Roxanne” perennial geraniums for $2 each and they were still blooming!

nurseries have the same types of sales going on, you just have to go out and look for them. Most of us are getting flyers trying to sell us Amaryllis in a large variety of colors. Do take advantage of these bulbs. The common ones are available locally, but many different and wonderful varieties are available on line, and through catalogs. These large bulbs will flower 7-10 weeks after planting. Place potted bulbs in a warm (70 degree F) room, in a well lit window. I put mine in full sun, in a south window, and they bloom every year, and produce enough bulbs for me to share with lots of seniors. Water sparingly until the stem emerges. As the buds and leaves increase watering to keep the soil moist until flowers fade. Hint: If you cut the stem off about an inch from the bulb, as soon as the last flower fades, you might be rewarded with a second bloom. What a blessing! If you have had your Amaryllis bulbs outside for the summer, bring them in slowly. I usually wait until the nights temperatures are around 50 degrees, no lower, and keep them in an unheated room. Each day I acclimate them to more heat, and eventually they end up in the sunny spot where they will quickly drop leaves, and then send up their blossoms. Such excitement when 8-12 varieties start blooming at once. If you have problem weeds in your grass, especially the type that produce seed heads, remember to mow your grass until just before the killer frost, to remove the seed heads, and help make sure they do not reproduce even more next spring. We live in the country side, and I try to remove weeds that are seeding from anywhere near the property if possible. All of these tactics help when it comes to the onslaught of weeds in the spring. Just before the killer frost, it is good to go outside, walk around your gardens, and notice what will be there for winter scenes, and decide now, not next spring, what you would like to be seeing all winter in your gardens. Remember not to cut back the tall ornamental grasses until early spring, and enjoy the waves of the grass all winter. I leave the bright red rose hips of my rugosa roses to admire as well. Don’t have any of these things, make a note and purchase them next year for your enjoyment. Happy Gardening.

Sports Clyde Tops Tigers in OT on Homecoming Night Huron 27 Clyde 28

It was classic early fall weather Friday evening, filled with great tailgate parties and a new Homecoming King and Queen. The football game was fun, exciting, nail biting and hard hitting. But first the night was loaded with the Homecoming ceremonies. The 2009 Queen is cheerleader Nicole Luzader who has entertained the Huron crowds with her gymnastic tumbles over the last couple years. The King is none other then senior quarterback Joe Ramey. Joe also leads a loud, spirited group of young men who cheer on Huron’s volleyball team with flair. There was also a new class of Hall of Famers inducted by the school. They were Monica Asher, Angelo “Pickles” Legando, Mike Mudsina, Seth DeRose, Charlie Wilson, and Matt Wooster. Each was

an outstanding athlete and representative for Huron in their respective eras. And, of course, the marching band performed their script Huron with the help of the junior high band members. It was a full evening. Also, there was an excellent football game on display. The visiting Flyers came out fast and owned the first quarter led by QB Gilbert. He opened the game with a 57 yard TD pass at the 9:52 mark on Clyde’s opening possession. Later in the opening period and the Flyers on their own 32, Gilbert connected on a big play to Drew Frazier that took his team to the Huron nine yard line. On fourth down and one, Gilbert snuck over from the one yard line to give Clyde a 14-0 lead. As dominating as the visitors were in the opening quarter, the Tigers were that good in the second. Brian Bollenbacher led the Tiger offense on several drives while Jake Hillman played opportunistic ball on special teams and on defense. Huron’s first points came on a 10 yard run by the hard running Derek Dowell. Then, with just 57 seconds left in the half, Bollenbacher hits Sean Fantozz on a 22 yard touchdown strike to tie the game at 14 a piece. During the second half, the game turned into a tough nosed battle. With 1:44 left in the third quarter, following a steady Clyde drive that began on the Flyers own 19, the visitors attempted a 27 yard field goal but Hillman broke through and made the big block to maintain the tie. But Clyde would score half way through the fourth period on a 52 yard run by their QB at the 4:21 The Tigers defense clamps down and gang tackles the Flyer’s QB

Senior Derek Dowell (24) has a full head of steam running into the Flyer defense. mark. Huron and Bollenbacher took over the ball on the Tiger 20. The home team mustered a first down but had to punt with only 3:09 left. The defense kept Clyde from a first down and gave the offense one more crack with 1:46 left from the Huron 48. With 1:27 left, Bo hits Hillman for a 35 yard touchdown pass to force the game into overtime. On Clyde’s first possession, the Tiger defense again comes up big with a sack. Then, on what looked to be a Huron interception on a desperation throw, was ruled as a Flyer reception and first down on the two yard line. Upon later review, the play was much closer than appeared at the time. Clyde scored from there to take a 28-21 lead. Huron gets their shot and Bollenbacher makes a 19 yard dash to the endzone. Coach Legando decides to go for the win and calls for a two point conversion. The Tigers go for a short pass, but it is incomplete and Clyde wins a thriller at Kalahari Field, 28-27.

Huron Volleyball Reclaims Top of SBC

The Huron Varsity volleyball team has been waiting for this rematch since Edison broke the Tiger’s 99 consecutive conference win streak in Milan at the start of the season. Captain Melissa Moberg chases down the ball to make the save.

Now, back at home, the Chargers would face a Huron team that is well into its maturation process as they march towards the state playoffs. During another marathon match, between the two best teams in the SBC, the Lady Tigers dug deep and found their way back where they belong. That is on top of the conference standings. Huron triumphed, 3-2 (21-25, 25-16, 13-25, 28-26, 15-9). The first three games in this tension filled match weren’t exactly pretty volleyball. During the opener, Edison came out with an early lead, 15-9. Huron senior Jesse Miedema brought her team back, with the aid of two consecutive aces by Adriana Deluca, to take a brief 18-17 lead. After an Edison timeout, the visitors went on an 8-3 run to close out game one. Game two was dominated by the Tigers, followed by a lopsided victory by the Chargers in Game three. Going into game four, Edison led 2-1 and thoughts of a possible second SBC loss crept in. Both teams were even at 9 a piece early on. Devon Koenig gave the Tigers a 15-11 lead with a big block of an Edison attack. The Chargers fought back hard to take a 20-19 lead at which point Huron’s Coach Wood called time. Edison was doing a good job finding the holes in Huron’s back defense. Following the break, the Chargers made two big blocks of Miedema spike attempts to take a 23-21 lead. Huron, sensing the match slipping away, called time out. Jesse Miedema struck with a big kill and then Kaitlyn Sommer made a serve that hit the net squarely and somehow managed to climb over to tie the game at 23 a piece. Back and forth the match went into overtime. It ended with Huron’s Taryn Graham serve and an Edison miss hit, 28-26. The match was tied 2-2. The final game began with a point for Huron by Justine Butler. A hard block by Grendow and another spike by Miedema and quickly the Tigers had a 7-2 lead. The Chargers called time to try to keep the final under control. They played well but every time the visitors threatened, Huron had the answer. At 14-9, match point, senior Melissa Moberg served and Jesse Miedema hammered in the final point for the Tiger victory. Miedema had 17 kills on the night while Koenig chipped in with six of her own. Devon

Jesse Miedema (6) and Kaitlyn Sommer (9) make a block against the tough Charger team. Grendow led the team with 21 assists. Taryn Graham had an excellent defensive match with 41 digs.
